You don’t need to go all out or spend a lot to go camping…

Honestly, you don’t need to invest a ton of money into camping equipment before you know if you even like it! Even if you know you do and you can’t afford to buy it all up front, that’s fine…don’t let that stop you. Get out there and go camping! You can get stuff here and there as you can afford it. Until then, borrow it if you have to.

The important thing is to get out there with your family and enjoy the outdoors. Get the kids away from the video games, get away from the television, get out and enjoy nature as a family. Get some exercise by exploring and hiking or maybe just got take a swim. Whatever it is, it’s better than sitting indoors all summer, right?

Here’s a great video from Modern Outdoor Dweller. He shows you how that you really only need 9 things in order to get out there and go camping.

Below the video, I’ve made it easier for you and included some links to Amazon to get some of the products they recommend. If you can buy them, that’s cool, if not…remember what I said…borrow from a friend. Make sure you like camping before you invest. If you know you like it and can start your camping collection now, by all means, start collecting.

So watch the video then get ready for an epic summer with your family! 🙂

9 things needed for car camping:

1st aid kits – Always be prepared when out in the wilderness and hiking. It’s better to be safe than sorry, isn’t it? At least that’s what I was always taught. – https://amzn.to/2IWwWc7

Sleeping Bags – Okay, of course, you need this to keep you warm and dry. Using blankets is not the best, I’ve done it, but I guess it depends on where you camp. Here are some sleeping bags sorted by average customer review. – https://amzn.to/2LFvhW2

Self Inflating Sleeping Pads – These just make sleeping WAY more comfortable whether you’re in a car, tent or a trailer. Plus, why not save your breath? Get the self-inflating kind…they’re easier to inflate and deflate. These are also sorted by customer reviews. – https://amzn.to/2J1VVqi
